AWS Health enhances Amazon EventBridge to give more flexibility and higher resilience

Customers using Amazon EventBridge can now setup rules for AWS Health events with multi-region redundancy, or choose a simplified path by creating a single rule to capture all Health events. With this enhancement, Health sends all events simultaneously to US West (Oregon) as well as the individual region of impact. For more information customers can go to Creating EventBridge rules for AWS Region coverage.

Sending Health events to two regions gives customers an option to increase the resilience of their integration by creating a backup rule. US West (Oregon) is the backup for all regions in commercial partition, while US East (N. Virginia) is the backup for US West (Oregon). Plus, this change also enables a simplified integration path, where customers can now setup a single rule in US West (Oregon) to capture all Health events from across commercial partition, as opposed to needing to configure rules in individual regions. Customers now have greater flexibility in their integration approach for receiving Health events.

This update is available in all AWS regions. In China, all Health events get delivered simultaneously to both China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia). In AWS GovCloud (US), all Health events get delivered to AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East).
